Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
Boy, did today turn out to be interesting! Not a thing from Warn on the snowplow and they didn't return my call when I called them. But I got a call from a Board member in the Sportsmen's Club I'm president of. He found some shotgun shells in an unauthorized area and birdshot damage to the pits frame. He was wanting me to do a video review and see if I could find who it was. He had checked the range log and no one had signed in with a shotgun. I was successful in finding the culprit on video, but the interesting part was what I found in the video review on my way to finding the culprit. Something I hadn't seen since patrolling parks and back roads with the Cop Shop. I shall now have to have a conversation with one of our 'middle' aged club members and his girlfriend about their non shooting activities while at the rifle range. These members are certainly old enough (45-48 ish) to know better, (especially when just about everywhere on the range is covered by video now. However, I'm not sure I should be chewing them out or thanking them for adding some interesting XXX views to lighten up an otherwise pretty boring video review.

Your last statement reminds me of a Bill Engvall skit where he and his wife are in a motel and the people in the next room are having a good time. An hour late Bill's wife says you need to do something, Bill says what do you want me to do Congratulate them......

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Range and club grounds work day had a stellar turn out and we got a lot accomplished. One of the best days in recent memory.
Just getting back in the house at Alpha after getting front and back lawns mowed and a couple of things in the backyard done. Going back to Bravo in the morning.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 22, clear and sunny. Looks like the temp is starting to move upward pretty quickly right now. Snow melt channels in the meadow are getting pretty full. River is running full plus.
